[Bug c++/18273] New: Fail to generate debug info for member function.

["adam_m_mckee at yahoo dot ca" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

g++ fails to generate debug info for some methods.  Please refer to the
following files, posted here: http://www.adam-mckee.net/files/gccbug

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TotalCostEvaluator_bug.ii   : to reproduce the bug
TotalCostEvaluator_ok.ii    : my workaround (debug info is generated properly)
readelf_bug.txt             : readELF output shows no debug info generated
    for 'tsPerDay', a local within TotalCostEvaluator::cslistCost()
readelf_ok.txt              : debug info is properly generated for 'tsPerDay'
    as well as all other locals belonging to TotalCostEvaluator::cslistCost().
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you compile TotalCostEvaluator_bug.ii, like this:

=== compilation command =====================================================
g++ -g -march=athlon-xp -Wall -Wno-uninitialized -fstrict-aliasing -c
    -o TotalCostEvaluator.o TotalCostEvaluator.ii
=============================================================================

then run 'readelf -wi TotalCostEvaluator.o' - you will see that no debug info
has been generated for any local variables belonging to
cse::TotalCostEvaluator::cslistCost().

I did some testing, and found out that debug info would be properly generated
for cslistCost() if I change the way I write a template function
(deleteMapSecond), which is called by cslistCost().  If you compare
TotalCostEvaluator_ok.ii with TotalCostEvaluator_bug.ii you'll see the change I
made, which apparently causes gcc to generate debug info properly in this case.

This is the first time I filed a bug report for gcc.  I wasn't sure how to
attach files so I thought it easiest to just make the files available from my
web server.

Here's some other information that you might want:
